We report a case of a granulomatous skin lesion in an AIDS patient whereby biopsy revealed both HSV-1 and HSV-2. This lesion was resistant to acyclovir and successfully treated with intralesional cidofovir without recurrence to date. This is the only known reported case of a granulomatous skin lesion in an HIV patient, whereby both HSV-1 and HSV-2 were isolated.
